Shock transmission units ISOSISM STU


The Isosism STU fluid shock transmission unit is a fluid dynamic restraint with a response characteristic that is a function of the velocity, the device applies an insignificant force for small velocities (thermal movement, etc…) while it stops and reacts up to the design target force for high velocities (dynamic loads, earthquake, etc..). It allows the static scheme of the structure to change and to optimise the dynamic force distribution into the structure.
The device can be designed with a wide range of target force and displacement.

The Isosism STU devices have the following advantages:

Low maintenance, all the hydraulic parts of the circuit are inside the device and so are protected.
Possibility to fit any force and displacement required by the designer
Immediate response, even with very small displacements.
Response stability with temperature.
